Baltimore’s Former Coach Just Took the AFC North Lead Right Out of Its Hands

The Cleveland Browns (4-2) erased a 10-point deficit to stun the Baltimore Ravens (4-2) 13-10 at Huntington Bank Field on October 18, 2026, as Andre Szmyt’s walk-off 37-yard field goal capped a fourth-quarter comeback and sent Cleveland to the top of the AFC North.

Todd Monken’s reunion with Baltimore looked miserable early, but his Browns saved their best football for the finish. Cleveland managed just 46 first-half yards as Tyler Huntley helped the Ravens build a 10-0 lead. Then the Browns’ defense took over, shutting Baltimore out for the final three quarters. Carson Schwesinger forced a fourth-quarter Derrick Henry fumble that Tyson Campbell recovered, setting up newly signed Audric Estime’s two-yard touchdown to tie the game. Deshaun Watson struggled through five sacks and finished with 164 passing yards, but his 33-yard connection with Jerry Jeudy, who caught four passes for 69 yards, positioned Cleveland for a final kick. After missing an earlier 48-yarder, Andre Szmyt received another opportunity when Baltimore jumped offsides on a blocked attempt. His 37-yard walk-off field goal secured Cleveland’s comeback and sole possession of first place in the AFC North.

Baltimore’s defense deserved considerably better. Kyle Hamilton recorded three tackles for loss, while Roquan Smith, Trey Hendrickson and Calais Campbell helped generate five sacks against Cleveland’s struggling offensive line. The Ravens were without Lamar Jackson for the second straight game because of an ankle injury, leaving Huntley to complete 19 of 31 passes for 165 yards and a touchdown to Josh Cuevas. Zay Flowers contributed 66 receiving yards, but Derrick Henry managed only 58 rushing yards before his costly fumble. Cleveland’s Carson Schwesinger recorded 13 tackles, while Quincy Williams, Isaiah McGuire and Maliek Collins each registered a sack. Despite missing Quinshon Judkins and losing Grant Delpit to a concussion, the Browns held Baltimore to 235 total yards. The Ravens’ defense kept them competitive, but an offense that failed to score after the first quarter ultimately handed Monken a memorable victory over his former team.
